FAILURE TO USE APPROVED
WINDING BARS CAN CAUSE SPRING
ENERGY TO BE RELEASED
SUDDENLY, RESULTING IN SEVERE
OR FATAL INJURY.
COUNTERBALANCE SPRING TENSION
MUST BE RELIEVED BEFORE
REMOVING ANY HARDWARE. A
POWERFUL SPRING RELEASING IT’S
ENERGY SUDDENLY CAN CAUSE
SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Do not release the torsion spring tension
unless you are a qualified and experienced
door technician. Instead have a professional
door agency release the tension.
Step 1: Close the door and place vice
clamps on the back legs of both vertical
tracks, above the third roller to prevent the
door from lifting as you unwind the springs.
Use only approved winding bars available
from your dealer. Do not use undersized
steel rods, screw drivers or anything else
to unwind the springs. Position the ladder
just off to the side of the winding cone.
The winding cone should be easy to reach
without putting your body directly in front
of it.
Step 2: Insert a winding bar into one of the
holes in the winding cone. Exert upward
pressure. Using caution, loosen the two
(2) set screws in the winding cone. Be
prepared to support the full torsional force
of the spring when the set screws are
loosened.
Step 3: Once set screws are loose, slowly
and carefully lower the winding rod until it
rests against the door. Insert other winding
bar into the upper hole. Push up and
remove lower bar. Carefully lower upper
winding bar, 1/4 turns at a time until it rests
against the door. Repeat process until all
tension is relieved. If your door is equipped
with two (2) torsion springs, follow the same
procedure to relieve tension on the second
spring.
Step 4: Remove vice clamps from tracks,
unbolt torsion shaft assembly and remove
from work area.
NOTE: Continue with “P4” on page 9 after
completing this step.

PRE-INSTALLATION
Tools Needed:
Fig. 2
A TorqueMaster®spring system can be
identified by the end brackets. For single
spring applications, the right hand end
bracket will always have a drive gear,
counter gear, counter cover, and a winding
bolt head. The left hand end bracket will
have no gears, counter cover, or winding
bolt head. The hole for the winding bolt
head will be plugged.
For double springs, both the right hand
and left hand end brackets will always
have a drive gear, counter gear, counter
cover and a winding bolt head.
IMPORTANT: RIGHT AND LEFT HAND IS
ALWAYS DETERMINED FROM INSIDE THE
BUILDING LOOKING OUT.
Step 1: If you have a black counter cover:
Place a mark on the drive gear tooth and an
adjacent mark on the right hand end bracket
(Fig. 1). Loosen the lock nut using a 7/16”
wrench and continue with step 2.
If you have a gray counter cover: Loosen
the lock nut using a 7/16” wrench and
continue with step 2.
Step 2: Using an electric drill (High
torque / gear reduced to 1300 rpm
preferred) with a 7/16” hex head driver,
unwind the right hand winding bolt head
counterclockwise (Fig. 2) and count the
number of turns the mark on the drive
gear passes the adjacent mark on the end
bracket. Referencing the chart below, by
door height, stop unwinding the spring
once the counted turns have reached the
listed number of turns.
6’-0” Door Height = 14 turns
6’-3” Door Height = 14 1/2 turns
6’-5” Door Height = 15 turns
6’-6” Door Height = 15 turns
6’-8” Door Height = 15 1/2 turns
6’-9” Door Height = 15 1/2 turns
7’-0” Door Height = 16 turns
7’-3” Door Height = 16 1/2 turns
7’-6” Door Height = 17 turns
7’-9” Door Height = 17 1/2 turns
8’-0” Door Height = 18 turns
CAUTION: DO NOT USE IMPACT GUN TO
UNWIND SPRINGS.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REFERENCE THE
COUNTER COVER WHEN COUNTING THE
NUMBER OF TURNS BEING UNWOUND
ON THE SPRING, BUT FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE.
Step 3: Verify that spring tension has been
released by pulling the counterbalance
cable on the right hand cable drum away
from the header (Fig. 3). If spring tension
has been released, the cable will be loose.
In addition, the TorqueMaster®Spring
Tube should be free to rotate in either
direction.

Tools Needed: (Spring Tube should be free to rotate in
either direction.) If the counterbalance
cable is still taut and the TorqueMaster®
Spring Tube is difficult to rotate, that is an
indication that spring tension still exists
on the left hand spring. Repeat Steps 1
and 2 for releasing spring tension on the
left hand side.
Step 4: Using a flat tip screwdriver, pry
the counter gear and counter cover
from the right hand end bracket (Fig. 4
on previous page). Discard the counter
gear and counter cover. On double spring
applications, repeat for left hand side.
Step 5: Remove the upper 5/16” x
1-5/8” lag screw from the right hand end
bracket (Fig. 5). Attach locking pliers to
the upper portion of the end bracket and
hold the housing steady while removing
the lower 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screw and
#10 x 1/2” phillips head screw from the
end bracket (Fig. 6).
Step 6: Holding the right hand end
bracket steady with locking pliers,
carefully pry the end bracket and drive
gear off the winding shaft using a flat tip
screwdriver (Fig. 7).
CAUTION: THE WINDING SHAFT MAY
ROTATE WHEN REMOVING THE END
BRACKET AND DRIVE GEAR.
Step 7: Repeat Step 4 for the left hand
side. Holding the left hand end bracket
steady with locking pliers, carefully pry
the end bracket off the winding shaft
using a flat tip screwdriver (Fig. 7).
Step 8: Remove the two (2) lag bolts
attaching the center bracket assembly to
the header board (Fig. 8).
Step 9: Lift the right hand side of the
TorqueMaster®Spring Tube and slide the
cable drum off. Realign the groove in the
winding shaft with the round notch in the
flagangle and drape the counterbalance
cable with drum over the flagangle. Lift
the left hand side of the TorqueMaster®
Spring Tube and slide the cable drum
and winding shaft off (Fig. 9). Drape the
counterbalance cable with drum over the
flagangle. Lift the TorqueMaster®spring
assembly off the flagangles and out of
the doorway. Unhook the counterbalance
cables from the bottom brackets and
remove all parts from the work area.
NOTE: The cable drums may be difficult to
remove. If so, twist the cable drum to aid
in removal.

PRE-INSTALLATION
Having removed the counterbalance
system, the door can now be
disassembled.
Start by first removing the top row of
hinges.
With assistance, hold the top section to
keep it from falling and remove the
top brackets. With assistance, lift the top
section out of the opening and remove
it from the work area. Repeat for all
remaining sections.
After door is disassembled, unbolt both
track assemblies from the jambs and
remove all material from the work area.
You can neatly dispose of the old door by
placing it in the carton of your new door.
Clean up area and complete “Preparing
the Opening” “P5” on page 10 before
installing the new door.
Removing the Old Door
Step 1: Raise the door to the fully open
position and place vice clamps to the back
legs of both vertical tracks, below the
bottom rollers to prevent the door from
falling. By opening the door you release
most of the spring tension. Carefully
unfasten the S-hook from the horizontal
angle. Remove cable, sheave and extension
spring. Repeat for the other side. If safety
cables are running through the extension
springs, remove them also. Remove parts
from work area.
Step 2: Holding door in the open position,
remove the vice clamps, be prepared
to support the entire weight of the door.
Garage doors can weigh 200-400 pounds.
With assistance, carefully lower the door, by
grasping the door firmly by it’s lift handles.

RESULTING IN SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
If you just removed your existing door or you are installing a
new door, complete all steps in PREPARING THE OPENING.
For detailed technical information regarding the opening
preparation, refer to the DASMA Technical Data Sheet TDS
#161 Connecting Garage Door Jambs to Building. Framing
located at www.dasma.com.
The inside of your garage door opening should be framed with
wood jambs and header. It is recommended that 2” x 6” lumber
be used. The jambs must be plumb and the header level. The
jambs should extend a minimum of 12” (305 mm) above the
top of the opening for TorqueMaster® counterbalance systems.
For low headroom applications, the jambs should extend to
the ceiling height. Minimum side clearance required, from the
opening to the wall, is 3-1/2”.
IMPORTANT: CLOSELY INSPECT JAMBS, HEADER AND
MOUNTING SURFACE. ANY WOOD FOUND NOT TO BE SOUND,
MUST BE REPLACED.
The jambs and header must be securely fastened to sound
framing members. Do not place jambs and header over drywall,
paneling, etc. Heads of fasteners must be flush or below jamb
and header surface, so they do not interfere with installation or
operation of new door.
TorqueMaster®counterbalance systems, a suitable mounting
surface must be firmly attached to the wall, above the header
at the center of the opening.
The mounting surface must be 2” x 6” lumber minimum (Select
southern yellow pine lumber. Do not use lumber marked as
spruce-pine-fur or SPF).
The mounting surface must be securely attached to block or
concrete wall with four (4) 3/8” masonry anchors or four (4)
5/16” x 4” lag screws for a wood structure.
NOTE: Drill a 3/16” pilot hole in the mounting surface to avoid
splitting the lumber. Do not attach the mounting surface with
nails.
WEATHER SEAL: Fit weather seal (may not be included) to fit
the jambs and header. Align the edge of the weather seals an
1/8” to 1/4” inside the edge of the opening. Temporarily nail
the weather seal to the jambs to keep the bottom section from
falling out of the opening during installation. Equally space
nails approximately 12” to 18” apart.
NOTE: Do not permanently attach weather seal to the jambs at
this time. Permanent installation will be done in Step 34.
HEADROOM REQUIREMENT: Headroom is defined as the
space needed above the top of the door for tracks, springs, etc.
to allow the door to open properly. If the door is to be motor
operated, 2-1/2” (64 mm) of additional headroom is required.
NOTE: 6” LHR Conversion Kit is available for 12” Radius only.
Contact your local Wayne-Dalton®dealer.
BACKROOM REQUIREMENT: Backroom is defined as the
distance needed from the opening back into the garage to
allow the door to open fully.
